Seems sp 2 affects every machine differently - must be in the factory

loose connectivity as soon as I install SP 2 -- on Sp 1 all is fine,
but when the auto upgrade sneeks in ( with all due digilance, MS
manages to seek it in) all I can do, is to reinstall the operating
system ( system restore does not correct the problem). Anyone out
there, do you have the solution? Please, I'm tired of reinstalling OS
every 2-3 weeks. Thanks

I have experienced similar problems with sp2, and when I talked to
Microsoft, they admitted that they know that there is a serious
problem with sp2. so I have stopped using sp2, and I can still use
all of my pgms. --

I just installed service pack 2 and multiple security updates, and
since then I cannot run Real player, Power DVD, Windows Media
Player, etc. I attempt to play a DVD, the programs open, say there
was an error the program must close, and I am unable to correct the
problem.... Any help to correct this would be appreciated.

What connectivity are you talking about? Wireless, Lan, Dialup?
